[GIVEAWAY!] The S-word by Chelsea Pitcher

Lizzie wasn't the first student at Verity High School to kill herself this year. But the difference is, she didn't go quietly.
First it was SLUT scribbled all over the school's lockers. But one week
after Lizzie Hart takes her own life, SUICIDE SLUT replaces it--in
Lizzie's own looping scrawl. Photocopies of her diary show up in the
hands of her classmates. And her best friend, Angie, is enraged.

Angie had stopped talking to Lizzie on prom night, when she caught
Lizzie in bed with her boyfriend. Too heartbroken to let Lizzie explain
the hookup or to intervene when Lizzie gets branded Queen of the Sluts
and is cruelly bullied by her classmates, Angie left her best friend to
the mercy of the school, with tragic results.

But with this new slur, Angie's guilt transforms into anger that someone
is still targeting Lizzie even after her death. Using clues from
Lizzie's diary and aided by the magnetic, mysterious Jesse, Angie begins
relentlessly investigating who, exactly, made Lizzie feel life was no
longer worth living. And while she might claim she simply wants to
punish Lizzie's tormentors, her anguish over abandoning and then losing
her best friend drives Angie deeper into the dark, twisted side of
Verity High--and she might not be able to pull herself back out.
